3M Scotch 928 ATG Tape [Repositionable]

3M Scotch 928 ATG Tape is a reverse-wound high-tack/low-tack double-coated tissue tape which has one side which is repositionable (like a Post-it® note). One side of 3M 928 has a medium-firm acrylic adhesive which features high initial adhesion to a wide variety of materials and good shear holding power. The other side has a low-tack, repositionable acrylic adhesive. The low-tack adhesive on one side of 3M 928 allows removal from many papers, foils, and films without adhesive residue and will not cause delamination of most paper stocks. In many cases, the tape can be reused numerous times. It will also not bleed into most paper stocks which helps minimize possible discoloration or staining. Flexible materials will adhere better to 928 than will rigid materials (e.g., paper vs. cardboard). The tape has many repositionable, reusable, or reclosable uses such as: reclosable bags or envelopes; core starting and end tabbing of papers, foils, and films; novelty items; removable stickers and labels; point of purchase displays; book inserts; mounting promotional items; removable/changeable advertisements; temporary hold for protective packaging materials, such as foam or cardboard, used during shipment of manufactured goods. The tape has fair solvent resistance and good UV resistance. Scotch 928 ATG Tape, like all ATG tapes, is reverse wound on the roll so it is designed to be used in an ATG dispenser/gun.

** Adhesive tape products are NOT guaranteed to be splice-free. Sizes shipped will typically be the tape industry standard metric-cut sizes, i.e. 24mm for each 1 inch of nominal tape width ordered (rolls are approximately 5% narrower than the nominal size). Please contact us to inquire about pricing for full-cut widths; e.g. a 6 inch roll cut to 152mm instead of 144mm.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).

natural rubber

Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.

acrylic

Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.

silicone

Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.

zinc oxide

Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
